I've had several.
1970 CB750K0 - Highly collectable but the decades have not been kind to it. Compared to a bargain bike today, it has awful handling, wooden brakes, harsh suspension. How the go-fast guys rode the wheels off these back in the day is a mystery to me.
2001 R1100S - Stunning bike but almost unrideable at 80 mph+ due to excessive engine vibration. A very capable bike in the twisties however.
2010 V7 Cafe Classic - Another stunner but it had the world's worst suspension. Zero compliance to bumps. The ergos were off, too: Clip-on's but mid-mount foot pegs. The engine was charming and plenty powerful for me.
